History of Our Game

This year marks the 46th Annual Washington Activity Coordinators Association conference. This event's long and heralded history began in 1970, when a group of Seattle area activity coordinators voted to get together and underwrite a conference. With this in mind, the first annual conference was held in the spring of 1971. Under the direction of Walt Dawson of Shorecrest High School, Coke Roberts of West Seattle High School, Pat Woodward of Cleveland High School, and Fritz Mahlert of Nathan Hale High School, funds for the first conference were partially defrayed by the generous contributions of business firms who exhibited their products. This supportive tradition has continued to this day. Members are from middle level, junior high, and high schools and from a variety of activity areas. Delegates include activity coordinators, cheer coaches, ASB and club advisers, administrators, athletic directors, leadership teachers, and activity secretaries.

Now you're part of WACA 2016

Welcome to WACA 2016 As a delegate, I sometimes waited until a few weeks before the conference to register, secure a sub and so on. Then, I showed up, attended sessions, and walked away with a positive, revitalizing experience that even led to friendships and other opportunities. As president, I signed the contract for the convention center in December of 2014. A lot of behind the scenes work has been happening ever since. This is much like both sports and leadership activities in our schools. The majority of the population shows up for the final product: dances, assemblies, service projects, games and matches. And, this is fine, because it is satisfying to have a great turnout. But, it is very easy to cheer or critique without really understanding the hours of work that went into the preparation. As advisors and coaches, we know this is the case, but we do it anyway because we love it. We know the life lessons learned from being part of a team; from facing adversity, overcoming obstacles, and meeting goals we thought were maybe beyond our reach. Nelson Mandela said, “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does…” Living in the land of 12s, we know this to be true. There are so many parallels between sports and activities; so many lessons in character to be learned, so many accomplishments to be celebrated. Let this conference be the springboard for conversations about sports, ASB/Activities, and developing leaders in our schools. Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And here, you are surrounded by educators who know the value of investing quality time in your students. You know the countless hours it takes, the hard conversations that have to happen, in order for growth to occur. Take every opportunity you can to network, pick the brains of other delegates, attend sessions and gather ideas. Be present. Be engaged. This conference depends on the energy of every delegate, board member and presenter. Thank you for being here. Becky Latham WACA President

Speaker Showcase—Wednesday Afternoon

Reggie Jones—Believe Beyond—Reggie delivers a blue print of overcoming adversity in all situations. Using his own traumatic past he illustrates how he aspired to become a success story rather than a statistic. He lays out practical steps that others can take as well. Or as ASB Advisor Dustin Lamb described it “Today Reggie took the cycle of poverty and wiped it out and made it the pyramid of success.”

John “Push” Gaines—Today, John is a different person. “For me, I came to a point where I decided I wasn’t going to wait for change to come to my situation but rather I intended to be the change. I was going to live my life with faith, and no matter what came my way, I was going to PUSH. I told myself I would use my pain as my motivation to achieve everything my heart desires. With PUSH I just hope to inspire others to PUSH for their dreams and not to give up on them regardless of where they came from.”

Maddie Neuman— I watched in amazement as I saw that simply telling my story was changing people's lives for the better. I realized that this story isn't about me and it isn't about OCD - this story is about every single one of us. It's about not giving fear power over our lives. It's about persevering through challenges and believing that we can achieve our dreams with hard work and dedication. It's about bravery. It's about love.

Keynote—Wednesday Evening: Stu Cabe This is the year that marks the beginning of something unique and special. This year (2016), WACA’s theme “For the Love of the Game” becomes the springboard for an exciting new chapter in which dreams can become goals and love can become a platform. Stu’s keynote and breakout session will be as motivating as it is revealing, interesting as it is informative, setting the stage for the next generation of leadership exploration. WACA will mark the beginning of something pivotal in the leadership world and Stu invites you to join him as he explores the next great resource for improved school climate and culture.

Keynote—Thursday Morning: Anthony Robles "We wrestle with our own opponents on a daily basis. These challengers can come in numerous forms whether it be a physical challenge, emotional, or even relational issues that can overtake us. No matter what opponent we are wrestling against we can be UNSTOPPABLE."

Association of Washington School Principals as part of your registration.

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved,

getting other players involved. It’s being able to take it as well as dish it out.

That’s the only way you’re going to get respect from the players.

“Braiding” of school improvement initiatives is all the rage – aligning varied initiatives into a comprehensible whole. It’s not easy to convince administrators, or school staff that things aren’t “just another thing on my plate.”

This presentation will explore the effect of a partnership between school administration, student leadership advisor and the rest of the staff, which can enhance the implementation of varied school improvement initiatives

and be, in fact, a school improvement initiative itself. Trying to make a case for keeping or maintaining your leadership program? Come to this session to hear how our school does it.

Athletics also serves as the vehicle to build a culture that is centered on service to others and com-munity support. In this presentation, I will speak to how the athletic director can facilitate, teach and model these traits to

the athletes, parents, school and the greater community.

Leadership Lessons from the Twilight Zone ................................................... Meeting Room G Marty Fortin .......................................................................................... AWSP Learning Centers

The Twilight Zone episodes closely examine the human condition. Most of these presentations teach us a

lesson- a lesson of leadership. Learn about twelve shows that are especially appropriate for a classroom lesson. Then we'll watch one and discuss its possibilities.

Team Building Beyond the Icebreaker ............................................................ Meeting Room H Sally Rusk .........................................................................................................................................

We will work together to build your facilitation skills as well as give you a large toolbox of activities you can use to build any team including the awesome adult teams in your life. We ask our leadership students, ASB Councils, sports teams, and staff members to perform at very high levels. This session will focus on many

strategies you can start using right away to build your teams to be the best they can be. The session will include activities that aim at both the heart of the team as well as an emphasis on playing more and talking less to bring a

sense of fun and shared experiences.

Servant Athletes: Championship Culture .............................................................. Great Hall D Brett McDaniel ............................................................................................. Sumner High School Jeff Baines ..................................................................................................... Sumner High School

Learn how to transform your athletic programs and athletic respect in your community by implementing a servant leadership model. 10 years ago at SHS we went from having very little athletic respect and a culture of

blame...to today hanging banners all year long and our athletes are respected on and off the field due to the servant practices of our athletes and coaches. Our vision was clear and we have stayed true to this vision. Our

coaches do not leave and our athletes are thought of as student-athletes...not athlete-students.

Home Court-Building Culture and Climate through Advisory ..................... Meeting Room A Alli Hancock ........................................................................................... Mt Baker Middle School

Our school has started a home grown advisory program based around building positive connections student to student,

student to teacher, and teacher to teacher. In years past this daily meeting and homeroom felt like largely a waste do to our very diverse population and teacher's desires to prep as little as possible. This newly adapted and developed system has proved

adaptable, flexible, and navigable for everyone, and while we would love to share our resources and our website, we would also love the opportunity to discuss what is working in other schools and for other cultures. www.mtbakerhomecourt.com

True Colors in the Classroom ........................................................................... Meeting Room B Joe Richer ..................................................................................Personal Perceptions Northwest



Believe in You: Creating a Positive Campus Climate ..................................... Meeting Room C Denise Hitch ........................................................................... Retired-Oakdale High School, CA

dent recognition and incentives.

Fundraising/Checks and Balances: Let’s check what you know! ................. Meeting Room D Kia duNann .................................................................................. Lake Washington High School

This session is great for: bookkeepers, Activity coordinators, Athletic directors and admin all involved with

ASB money. ASB law can be a tricky thing, I know it! Let’s get together and talk about some of the big things you need to know when doing fundraisers lawfully. How to keep our auditors happy! We will review some of

the common questions about fundraisers and play a little game where we look at some fundraisers that others have done in the past and check to see if we agree that it was done legally, or see if we can catch any errors.

I will also share with you some of my tips, tricks and paperwork associated with fundraisers so that you don’t have to answer the same questions over and over again! There will be time to answer questions,

so bring questions that have come up this year for you.

Game On! Journey to the Highest Level of Leadership ................................. Meeting Room E Joe Fenbert .........................................................................................AWSL Student Leadership

Enter a "live" video game while experiencing digitally themed activities. The lessons can be adapted to lock-ins, socials, teambuilding activities, orientations, mentor groups and more. Get in the game! The lessons and activities come from the

2016 AWSL Middle Level Regionals Conference.

Structuring Your Leadership Class .................................................................. Meeting Room F Johanna Phillips....................................................................................... Shorecrest High School

Your students are working on many different projects and events. How do you balance curriculum time, charac-ter goals, event planning, execution, and reflection? This session aims to give you tools you can use to set up and structure your class to build routines and maximize student growth and empowerment while helping you to pre-

serve your precious time and sanity. Digital files available to upload at the conference, just bring a memory stick. (An updated version of my 2013 presentation.)

Captain’s Council-Building Leadership Capacity .......................................... Meeting Room G Sam Reed .................................................................................................. Tacoma Public Schools

My Captain's Council leadership retreat is a program that works on building and developing additional leaders in your building through athletics. I take selected leaders and/or team captains from all sports and run them through

a specifically designed leadership curriculum that teaches them to be better leaders in and out of competition.

ASB advisors may benefit from bringing this or a similar program into their schools because many of program participants are not in leadership otherwise and this serves as an introductory program that can help build a

larger leadership capacity in your halls.

Wellness Workshop ............................................................................................ Meeting Room H John Bittinger ............................................................................................. Richland High School

We all work hard...for the love of the game we call activities. But we also need a way to relax,

to decompress, to find some "down time". In this workshop, we'll investigate a variety of options or reducing stress. We'll share ideas and tools that can be used when only a small window of

time is available, or for when a longer focus is available.

“Train the Brain” Mental Coaching ...................................................................... Great Hall D Brett McDaniel.............................................................................................. Sumner High School

Be taught useful strategies to help student-athletes learn how to decrease anxiety and increase performance. Today's athletes are being robbed of their joy of the game. Additional demands on today's kids along with pres-sures from home, etc. have increased athletic drop-out rates throughout the country. In this workshop coaches/

teachers can learn how to implement strategies used by professional athletes and college teams around the coun-try. The goal is when guest of this clinic leave they feel they have "go-to" strategies they can use immediately in

the classroom or athletic arena.

23

The lesson you teach today is not confined to the walls of your classroom. Once it is implanted in the heart and mind of a child, it can change the world.

Practical Practice for Positive Progress ........................................................... Meeting Room D Houston Kraft.................................................................................. Speaker Leadership Trainer
